*  Description of Mod  *

Very simply this is a merger of the QW and Hipnotic QuakeC sources.
Now people can start setting up QW servers with the Hipnotic patch.

It's got rotating brushes, bobbing water, the laser cannon, the
hammer <bg>, and all the rest.

If you don't have Hipnotic's patch yet, get it.  Get it now.

I also modified some of the obituaries from their standard form.

It wasn't a lot of work on my part.  I basically felt the need to do it
because I was getting really tired of waiting for someone else to and I
wanna play Hipnotic QW!!


*  How to Install the Modification  *

When I decided to do this conversion from Quake to QW the possibility
of dynamically downloading basically all of Hipnotic's work for free
troubled me.  I've come up with a reasonably good solution to this
however.

First get a good program to unpak the .pak file that comes from Hipnotic.
Take the maps directory and put it inside another directory in your quake
directory.  For example, if you have your maps in c:\quake\hipnotic\maps,
move them to c:\quake\hipqw\maps.

Now compile the source code from this patch, making any necessary changes, 
and put the resulting progs.dat into the c:\quake\hipqw directory.  I'm
assuming that if you are running a QW server, you probably have some
experience compiling QuakeC.

You may (or may not) wish to add all the QW skins to a c:\quake\hipqw
directory.

IMPORTANT!!: DO NOT put the .mdl's, .wav's, etc. anywhere under the
c:\quake\hipqw directory.  If you do, people will be able to download
the entire patch from your server.  When people lacking the pack log in
they will receive error messages and be dropped.  When people who have
the pack log in, however, they will get to DM in some of Quake's finest
levels and have it count towards their QW rank and skill.

Now just run qwsv -game hipqw -master xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx and your server
will be up.  Of course, you'll want to edit the server.cfg, but you can
consult others for help with that.


*  Problems  *

Well, firstly, remember that the version number says 0.9 Beta.  I've been
running a server with this patch occasionally, but I'd hardly say it's
undergone rigorous testing.  The QW and Hipnotic source codes from which I
worked are most likely flawless.  My merger of the two may have bugs.

Another problem arises with differences between quake.exe 1.07 and QWCL 1.25.
Older versions of the quake executable were not really set up to handle some
of Hipnotic's map enhancements.  Hopefully the next version of QWCL will remedy
this situation.

For the most part, everything works great.  But go into start.bsp's low gravity
room and you'll find that the personal gravity variable doesn't work.

Overall, this server patch should provide hours of Hipnotic fun without trouble.
If you find any problems, mail me at the address above.

Just try to keep people from ripping Hipnotic off by d/l'ing
the pack.  They did some great work here and deserve their money.
